    A friend of mine used to break up aircraft and just showed me his photo album so I’ve scanned a few to post on the forum for anyone who may be interested. First up is a Folland Gnat…..

    He did that to a Gnat !!! http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/WN957/Emoticons/crying.gif

    ‘Warlord’ comics and the small ‘Commando’ books, especially one called Battling Brady about a Whitley rear gunner.

    Mike,

    Yes i know who the buyer is & his experience, i was merely touching on earlier comments here by Hindenburg, TwinOtter and others regarding his plans to replace the panel with that of a Lanc and restore it all as such.

    I’m no expert on the differences between the types, just saying that if it were me, i’d keep it as is and retain it’s provenance. I apologise for my own opinion.

    Incidentally, I hope nobody was offended by our sealed bids method of sale – I had offers for the section before the car engine was turned off and thought it fairer to allow everyone to see it and bid as they thought best.

    Indeed i thought that was very fair.

    Otherwise it wouldn’t have been around just gone 10am when i saw it (spirited into somebodys car pronto !), hence i couldn’t take the photo’s and post them here, and thus no discussion & interest in the subject.

    Does seem a shame it’ll morph into yet another Lancaster though. As you said on the day, probably the biggest surviving chunk of Lincoln currently available in the UK.

    Cheers….

    Just to elaborate further, yes you can park right outside the museum in the road (a one way street IIRC) in marked parking bays with “Pay at Meter” parking.

    Cracking museum, you’ll enjoy it guaranteed !!!

    Cheers….

    I chatted to all sorts of aviation enthusiasts and made lots of contacts that I’ll be following up in the next few weeks..having just started my own ‘cockpit book’ project.

    David,

    Please tell me more about this ‘book project’ ?

    Cheers…

    There was a well illustrated article on them in Classic Military Vehicle magazine a number of years back

    Indeed, the guy has the article across his windscreen in the colour photo above (taken at Kemble MVT show). Or see here…..

    Also what happened to that rather gorgeous Mk.1a Shackleton panel for sale?

    Still for sale as of Saturday night. Best to PM ‘Air Ministry’.
